Welcome to issue 9 of the Wakefield South Review. With spring justabout upon us I think we’re all looking forward to lighter nights andwarmer weather and to at last saying goodbye to the wintery weather thathas plagued us this winter.
Many local businesses have really suffered over the last year with therecession and the bad weather, so please do support the businessesaround you rather than going further afield. One of the strengths of theWakefield district is the many individual towns and villages, each with it’sown identity and local economy. Supporting your local businesses will helpensure your community retains it’s own spirit and will help it to thrive.
We are now planning our late spring and summer issues of theWakefield South Review, so please send us details of your summer fayres,fetes, galas and festivals as soon as you have them so that we can includethem in our Diary section or Community pages. We’re also always happyto hear about local news, achievements and campaigns, so get in touch ifyou have anything you would like featuring in future issues. We can’tguarantee inclusion, but we’ll do our best.
Here’s to a lovely warm, bright and happy springtime,Caron

reviews...at the cinemaIt's the 21st
century, but the
gods of Mount
Olympus seem
to have walked
out of the pages
of Percy
Jackson's Greek
mythology texts
and into his life.
Percy has
learned that his
real father is
Poseidon, god of
the sea, which
means Percy is a
demigod - half
human, half god.
At the same time, the powerful gods on Olympus
are feuding, which could launch a war enveloping
our entire planet.
To prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, Percy
travels to a special enclave called Camp Half
Blood, where he trains to harness his newly
discovered powers and prevent a devastating war
among the gods. There, he meets two fellow
demigods - the warrior Annabeth, who is searching
for her mother, the goddess Athena; and his friend
and protector, Grover, who is actually a brave but
untested satyr.
Grover and Annabeth then join Percy on an
incredible transcontinental odyssey. At journey's
end rests the fate of the world - and the life of
Percy's mother Sally, whom Percy must rescue
from the depths of Hell itself.
Our Verdict: Very Harry Potter-esque but fastpaced and an excellent supporting cast. Theinclusion of Greek mythology was a great idea andlots of fun. Pleased we saw it on the big screenrather than waiting for it come out on dvd.Thoroughly enjoyed by adults and children alikeand looking forward to the sequel.
Starring: Logan Lerman, Uma Thurman, Pierce
Brosnan, Sean Bean

health & wellbeingMigraineMigraines are severe headaches that often have a number of
associated symptoms and are quite common, affecting about
one in four women and one in 12 men in the UK. It is
thought that hormonal influences may be the reason why
migraines affect more women than men.
It is possible for migraines to begin later in life. However, it is
more common for the condition to begin in childhood or as
a young adult. About nine out of 10 people who experience
migraines have their first one before they are 40 years old.
Some people experience migraine attacks frequently, up to
several times a week. Other people only experience a
migraine occasionally. It is possible for years to pass between
attacks.
Stages of migraineThere are five distinct stages to migraine, although not
everyone experiences all the stages:
1. 'Prodromal' (pre-headache) stage. Some people
experience changes in mood, energy levels, behaviour and
appetite, and sometimes aches and pains, several hours or
even days before an attack.
2. Aura. In about one in six cases, a migraine is preceded by
an aura. Symptoms include flashes of light or blind spots,
difficulty focusing and seeing things as though through a
broken mirror. This stage normally lasts around 15 minutes
to an hour.
3. Headache stage. This is usually a pulsating or throbbing
pain on one side of the head. There is often nausea or
vomiting, extreme sensitivity to bright light and loud sounds,
and a strong desire to lie down in a darkened room. This
stage lasts for four to 72 hours.
4. Resolution stage. Most attacks gradually fade away. Some
people find the headache stops suddenly after they have
been sick. Sleep often relieves the symptoms.
5. 'Postdromal' or recovery phase. There may be a stage of
exhaustion and weakness afterwards.
Migraine triggersMany factors have been identified as triggering the onset of a
migraine, including emotional, physical, dietary, environmental
and medicinal factors.
Emotional triggers - include stress; anxiety; tension;
shock; depression or excitement.
Physical triggers - include tiredness; poor sleep quality;
shift work; poor posture; neck or shoulder tension and
travelling for a long period of time. The menopause can also
trigger migraines.
Dietary triggers - include lack of food (dieting); delayed or
irregular meals; dehydration; alcohol; food additives; caffeine
products, such as tea and coffee, and specific foods like
chocolate, citrus fruit and cheese.
Environmental triggers - include bright lights; flickering
screens, such as a television or computer screen; smoking
(or smoky rooms); loud noises; changes in climate, such as
changes in humidity or very cold temperatures; strong
smells and a stuffy atmosphere (a lack of fresh air).
There is currently no known cure for migraine, and sufferers
tend to manage the condition with a combination of
painkillers and avoiding known triggers. Some people find
that complementary therapies such as acupuncture and
homeopathy help to keep migraines at bay but when a
migraine strikes, many people find that sleeping or lying in a
darkened room is the only way to lessen the pain and ease
the attack.

food&drinkEaster Simnel CakeLent is the period of 40 days which comes beforeEaster, beginning on Ash Wednesday. For manyChristians, this is a period of fasting andrepentance in preparation for Easter, culminating ina feast of seasonal and symbolic foods. In the late17th century, girls in service brought a rich fruitcake called simnel cake home to their mothers onthe fourth Sunday of Lent. The cake was enrichedwith marzipan and decorated with 11 marzipanballs representing the 12 apostles minus Judas,who betrayed Christ.
Ingredients
For the almond paste
250g/9oz caster sugar
250g/9oz ground almonds
2 free-range eggs, beaten
1 tsp almond essence
For the cake
175g/6oz butter or margarine
175g/6oz soft brown sugar
3 free-range eggs, beaten
175g/6oz plain flour
pinch salt
½ tsp ground mixed spice (optional)
350g/12oz mixed raisins, currants and sultanas
55g/2oz chopped mixed peel
½ lemon, grated zest only
1-2 tbsp apricot jam
1 free-range egg, beaten for glazing
Method
1. For the almond paste, place the sugar and
ground almonds in a bowl. Add enough beaten
egg and mix to a fairly soft consistency.
2. Add the almond essence and knead for one
minute until the paste is smooth and pliable.
3. Roll out a third of the almond paste to make a
circle 18cm/7in in diameter and reserve the
remainder for the cake topping.
4. Preheat oven to 140C/275F/Gas 1. Grease and
line a 18cm/7in cake tin.
5. For the cake, cream the butter and sugar
together until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in
the eggs until well incorporated and then sift in
the flour, salt and mixed spice (if using) a little at
a time. Finally, add the mixed dried fruit, peel
and grated lemon zest and stir into the mixture.
6. Put half the mixture into a greased and lined
18cm/7in cake tin. Smooth the top and cover
with the circle of almond paste. Add the rest of
the cake mixture and smooth the top leaving a
slight dip in the centre to allow for the cake to
rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 1¾ hours.
Test by inserting a skewer in the middle - if it
comes out clean, it is ready. Once baked,
remove from the oven and set aside to cool on
a wire rack.
7. Brush the top of the cooled cake with the apricot
jam. Divide the remainder of the almond paste
in half; roll out a circle to cover the top of the
cake with one half and form 11 small balls with
the other half.
8. Place the circle of paste on the jam glaze and
set the balls round the edge. Brush the cake
topping with a little beaten egg.
9. Preheat the grill to high. Place the cake onto a
baking tray and grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the
top of the marzipan begins to brown.
Alternatively, lightly heat the cake topping using
a cook's blow torch, until the marzipan is
golden-brown

THE EMPIRECinema Themed Fish & ChipRestaurant, Takeaway andDrive-ThruTUCKIN G into a plate of the finest fish and chipsis always something of an occasion – but there’sone local restaurant where it becomes a reallyspecial event.
That place is the Empire, the former cinemaalongside the A61 at Outwood, which even fromthe outside brings back fond memories of abygone age of old-fashioned entertainment.
Step inside, however, and you’ll be in for a bigsurprise, for you’ll find yourself in a modern air-conditioned restaurant which, at the same time,has preserved much of the character andatmosphere from its cinema days.
Proprietors Brian and Sheila Cooper went togreat lengths to keep the cinema theme runningthroughout the restaurant, with memorabiliaranging from the golden age of the cinema up tothe modern era.
Everywhere you turn there are classic posters,photographs of film stars, even old cinemaprojectors, while one corner of the restaurant isdominated by a big screen showing classicmovies to watch while you eat.
As well as loving the food, diners will enjoythe family-friendly atmosphere and the fact theycan take advantage of the children’s menu andspecial deals for senior citizens.
The extensive menu is divided into curtains up(starter) and main event (main course) sectionsand offers plenty of choices beyond fish andchips, while the Empire also has a well-stockedlicensed bar.
Groups and parties looking for a venue with adifference are welcome to make a booking – anddon’t forget the Empire’s takeaway and drive-through service.
Fish and chips were never as much fun as at theEmpire. Telephone 01924 870002 to book atable.
A Little Bit of History...The Empire Cinema opened in 1921 and was owned andoperated by Rothwell Empire Ltd; it offered seating for 750and bookings were made at the hall. The Empire offeredone show nightly and the prices were between 4d and 10dper person. It featured a projector width of 28ft and it'stelephone number was Lofthouse Gate 7169.
The Empire Cinema also housed a Fish & Chip shopand DIY store at the front of the building, where thetakeaway is now. One of the cinema’s originalprojectionists is still a customer of ours today!
The Empire was closed to film in 1964 and was unuseduntil 1967 when it was then opened as a bingo hall.
The period of time between The Empire being a bingohall and becoming the establishment it is now is somewhatsketchy. It is believed to have been a childrens’ nursery fora period of time and has also been a carpet store.
In 1995 the idea was conceived to open the first everdrive through Fish & Chip takeaway in the UK, along witha 'themed' restaurant and take away. The idea was born andthe Empire Fish & Chip restaurant, takeaway and drivethrough was opened amongst much hype. The moviethemed restaurant was a real talking point and was evenfeatured on the 'Big Breakfast' show for the most amountof Fish & Chips served in an hour.

Going to thePromThe school prom is a unique experience. It’s oneof the first occasions friends get together formallyto look glamorous and have fun. It’s also anemotional time as for many students it marks theend of their school years. The importance of theschool prom should not be underestimated, formany students it represents an end to their schoollife and the opportunity to celebrate theirachievements and friendships.
Proms can be expensive. By the time tickets are
paid for, an outfit is bought and transportation
arranged it can easily start costing over a couple
of hundred pounds. It's lovely to be a little spoilt
for just one night but if the budget does not allow
then look to borrowing items - you'd be surprised
how many "once worn" prom dresses are lurking in
cupboards, waiting for another change to go out to
a fancy evening. And don't spend a bomb on
shoes, especially if your wearing a long dress, -
you won't see them !
Beware of buying a prom dress off the internet,
there's every possibility that it will disappoint you:
1. The fabric, colour and finish can poor quality,
often looking nothing like the picture.
2. The dress often doesn't fit properly and it's
hassle sending it back and getting a refund.
3. You can often wait weeks for the refund.
Many dress shops have sale rails and offer good
advice for keeping down costs whilst maintaining
quality, so do listen to them.
Other Budgeting Tips
1. Arrange to go in on a limo with a group and
share the cost.
2. Experiment doing your own nails, make-up and
hair and get together and do each others.
Your Prom doesn't have to cost the earth!
The EyeCandyCollectionDon’t know about you but we wouldn’t want to
buy a dress from a rack which has 20 identical
dresses on it! Our idea was to try and find a
collection of dresses that you won’t see in the
chain stores, in vibrant unusual colours and to
only have 2 or 3 of each style -we think we
have succeeded – but come and see what you
think!
When we sell a dress, we keep a book where
we record which Prom it is going to – we don’t
want you to turn up in the same dress as
someone else. So, before you try anything on,
we will check each dress for you so that you
know it hasn’t already been bought by someone
going to your Prom (BUT we don’t give out any
names, so don’t worry, no one will find out what
you are wearing!!)

parenting...Opinion has changed over recent years over how best to protectyour teeth and the teeth of your children from decay. It was oncethought that brushing after every meal and avoiding sugary foodswas the surest way maintain a sparkling white smile.
Many dentists now advise that is isn’t the quantity of sugaryand acidic foods but the frequency they are eaten. They believethat teeth can cope with three sugar attacks a day, when yoursaliva goes to work to neutralise the acid and protect the teeth.So having a sweet treat after a meal will allow your body tonaturally get to work on the sugar attack. Any more than threesugar attacks a day and your body struggles to keep on top of theacid that forms and damages teeth. If your child must eat sugaryfoods, allow them with meals and not to snack on through the day.
With regard to how often your children should brush their teeth,the advice is for them to brush them BEFORE breakfast, as thishelp to get rid of the plaque and bacteria that has formedovernight when their mouths are at their driest with the least salivato counteract the acid. Brushing before breakfast with a fluoridetoothpaste helps to coat the teeth with a protective layer whichprevents acid doing too much damage.
It is now thought that brushing teeth soon after eating foodscontaining sugar, and particularly after drinking a sugary fizzydrink, actually damages the teeth because the sugar and acidfrom the food or drink temporarily softens the enamel of the teeth.Brushing whilst the enamel is in a weakened state is abrasive andover time can strip the enamel from the teeth causing sensitiveand weakened teeth and dental erosion.
The advice from many dentists is now to wait at least an hourafter eating before your children brush their teeth and before bed-time it is better for your children to have nothing to eat TWO hoursbefore brushing their teeth and going to bed, apart from water. Ifthey must have something to eat within this time, the best types offood are cheese, plain yoghurt and other alkaline foods that don’tcontain added or natural sugars.Other tips for keep teeth healthy• Start cleaning teeth as soon as they appear. • Develop a water habit from the beginning. If you want your
children to have fruit juice - is it better for teeth to drink it througha straw so the teeth aren’t continually bathed in the sugars.
• Avoid fizzy water. Although it doesn't have sugar, the carbonatedwater attacks enamel in just the same way as acid.
Healthy foods to be wary of...• Milk - Milk contains lactose, which is a natural sugar and can
damage teeth. If milk is consumed frequently there is a higher riskof dental decay, so should ideally be drunk around a meal time.
• Raisins and dried fruit - A healthy alternative to chocolate andsweets - dried fruits can be a real problem as they stick to teethand contain a high level of natural sugars.
• Fruit - While we all need our five a day, it's better for their teeth togive your child raw vegetables as a snack rather than fruit. If theydo have a piece of fruit, give them a small piece of cheese to eatafterwards to neutralize the acids.
